The three wise monkeys are a pictorial maxim. Together they embody the proverbial principle to “see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil”. The three monkeys are Mizaru, covering his eyes, who sees no evil; Kikazaru, covering his ears, who hears no evil; and Iwazaru, covering his mouth, who speaks no evil. Sometimes there is a fourth monkey depicted with the three others; the last one, Shizaru, symbolizes the principle of “do no evil”. He may be shown crossing his arms.

Went to buy some stuff from Nespresso, 360 mall (will make a full post about it – dont freak out).
Before I even stepped into the store, I felt the giant artistic work of Mr.Manish Arora (indian) hovering above me with the brightest colors imaginable. There were Big, medium and small artworks displayed all over the store.
I wish you guys would pass by and give it a try cuz I think my pictures didnt do’em justice at all.
Ofcourse I asked the kind and multi-tasking BEE Mr.Mahmoud, who works there, if I could BUY any of these pieces, specially the small one, he said I cant and its for display only. GOSh I wanted to steal one, it looked that good.
Mahmoud did explain, however, that the artwork represents the small coffee shots we buy. You know, the yellow, gold, blue, green etc. He says the artist wanted to represent them as Princesses of the countries or blends they came from. A bit of disney’s fantasia wouldn’t hurt right ? cuz I was touched, big time.
Wanna see and know more about Manish Arora’s work for Nespresso ? You dont wanna miss this !

The kind and talented Mr.Nasser Al-Qatami was kind enough to send me a bulk of photos from their beautiful/metal/underground/retro artistic event Retrospection II.
Enjoy the pics boys and girls.

Im inspired by BOARDWALK EMPIRE, which led me to this piece of art.
Jean-François de Troy (1679–1752); Le déjeuner d’huîtres, 1734
The painting above of a post-hunt oyster lunch by de Troy demonstrates just how early the drinking of champagne was linked to celebration. This painting, commissioned for Louis XV’s private dining room, was the first time that champagne had ever been depicted in a painting, and if you look closely, you can see the cork mid-air. The man who opened the bottle is still holding the knife that was used to cut the string that held the cork in place. In these early days of champagne, glasses were drunk in a big gulp and then turned over in a bowl to allow the sediment to drain out — each “gulp was served in a new glass.” (Lots and lots of dishes!)
